You may not have seen a real camel or you may have not set foot in Egypt, so you don't have to have the slightest idea on what a camel toe is. A camel toe refers to the outline of your vagina's labia majora. The outline can be seen when you wear form-fitting apparel. Sure, you may want to get rid of it right now but first, you have to know how you can get it.

Camel Toe Causes

A camel toe is a common problem among women. You may get a camel toe because of the following conditions:

Wearing spandex. Spandex is tight fitting so expect to have camel toe if you're usually wearing it.

Wearing leggings and tights. It is best to wear leggings and tights when paired with long shirts, long blouses or mini dresses. If you wear leggings or tights with an equally skimpy top or a hanging-styled blouse, your camel toe is surely going to be shown off.

Fabric Watch. Stretch pants with good quality and thick fabric do not cause camel toe, but if the fabric is weak, it is going to take the shape of your camel toe.

No to Exercise shorts. They are also tight-fitting, so avoid wearing this when you go out jogging or to the gym.

Ill-fitiing swimsuit. If you use a swimwear that’s smaller than your actual size, then that’s when the problem comes in.

Your camel toe may become obvious when you wear other pieces of clothings like underwear, hotpants, shorts and other types of tight-fitting jeans. Still, fashion analysts say that it is not always the fault of tight-fitting jeans. Sometimes, the design of some pairs of jeans, for instance, is enough to make your camel toe obvious. Some shops also sell garments that make your camel toe obvious, as they are designed with a tight seam at the center to purposely divide the labia majora. You can't literally “remove” a camel toe because as a woman, your labia majora is part of your reproductive organs. Your only recourse is to make the camel toe less visible. Here are some tried and tested tips:

Getting Rid of Camel Toe

• Hooking the Thumb -- Manually remove your camel toe by having your thumb hooked into the base of the crotch or the zipper area of your bottom. Apply pressure against the index finger and the thumb and pull the inseam down very gently. To create more wiggle room, adjust the legs of your pants.
• Tackle the Camel Toe -- Pull the fabric from the zipper or crotch area. It is as simple as that.
• Heavy Denim Jeans, Anyone? -- If you're wearing tight-fitting jeans and you want to get rid of your camel toe, head to the washroom and pull down your jeans to remove your camel toe. Your waistline should sit slightly lower than your hips.
• Wear Only the Flattering Kind -- By all means, wear underwear. Choose your panties properly. Wear something that is flattering. Exposing your private parts and wearing high inseam pants is a bad combo and a perfect formula for irritation, infection and the worse, your camel toe may be spotted, too.
• Cover Up -- You can tie a sweater or a sweatshirt around your waist. The arms of the sweater should fall in front of your hips. Since camel toes are always there, especially if you pick the wrong outfit for the day, what you can do now is cover it up. As soon as you get home, the first thing you should do is to toss that pair of pants.

Bonus Tips

• Choose Your Friends -- You need to be surrounded by people who will grab your attention if they see you sporting the dreaded camel toe.
• Fin a Place -- Grabbing your crotch in public is a big turn off. Digging out your camel toe takes extra effort by going to the bathroom and fixing your stuff in private.

Sporting a camel toe is ideal for porno stars and you certainly aren't one. Before someone thinks differently about you, you have to check on that area once in a while to see if the outline is getting too obvious. You don't want to be mistaken for a Britney Spears wannabe, do you?
